So “Destiny 2″ has it’s own Alexa Skill. A Ghost Skill if you will… that is embedded into Amazon Alexa devices, to give players some help from the famous A.I. assistant, synced and integrated directly into the game in real time.

The Ghost Skill enables a series of brand new ways to interact with the game, from recommendations for what to play next based on players’ real-time current progress through to easy way to talk to your friends in your clan, and even quick ways to equip your favourite gear. Pretty cool. Check it out here.

Here is OK Go’s latest music video extravaganza; Obsession. The innovative video (another magical piece!) is a collaboration between the band and paper company Double A, and utilises stop-motion, precise choreography and 567 high-speed printers to create the “world’s first paper mapping” project.

And just so you know, the band added the disclaimer that all the paper was completely recycled and donations have been made to Greenpeace to offset the footprint of creating this very cool video.

Burger King is becoming famous for throwing its an annual Halloween promo. Last year they turned a store into the ghost of McDonalds. And for 2017 they’ve created #ScaryClownNight. So On Tuesday, October 31st, from 7PM to close, the first 500 guests that head to select BURGER KING® restaurants in Miami, Boston, LA, Austin and Salt Lake City dressed as a clown get a free WHOPPER®.

Pretty cool way to generate a whole bunch of PR. And collect some awesome UGC content at the same time. Well played BK.

Meet Anne-Christine Hertz, a Swedish inventor who works at Health Technology Centre of Halland. Today, she shares a story of how the Centre used Google Street View to invent a device that helps the elderly with Alzheimer’s.

Every three seconds someone develops dementia, a condition that creates disability and dependency among many elderly people around the world, robbing the memory and judgment of some 40 million people. It’s not only overwhelming and stressful for those suffering, but also their loved ones trying to take care of them.

BikeAround is a new way to actively assist people with dementia, and pairs a stationary bike with Google Street View, that is then projected on a big screen to take patients on a virtual ride down memory lane, letting them pedal around a place they have visited in the past. Find out more here.

Here it is. And about time. The Nike x NBA Connected Jersey that connects wearers to highlight reels, the latest scores, player and team stats, exclusive content, training content and more. All by tapping their phone against the label. Boom!

This is perhaps Old Spice’s weirdest experiment yet. And it’s called “Invisible World”, a full feature length 2 hour online film where you can’t see a thing, all designed to promote their new Invisible Spray deodorant. Reminder: You see absolutely nothing in this film, a few words here and there, a glitch of colour randomly… but you can hear the Old Spice fans who were cast via Twitter auditions.

Even weirder… The story is an action thriller based around a boy who opens up a gateway to an invisible dimension. But you’d never know, because you can’t see anything. Old Spice have done some incredible work, so it will be interesting to see where this one fits! Read more below...

Now this is a cool social play from Heinz. Who’ve launched a campaign called “Irresistible Posts” in Sao Paulo that uses geolocation to target local users looking at Stories in Instagram around lunch time, and serving up delicious burgers made by chef Santi Roig from Underdog Meat & Beers restaurant.

The catch was, that if you liked the look of that post, swiping upward triggered the ability to order the contents of the post, which Heinz would then deliver to them in a personalised box. Very cool. Great work from the crew at agency ‘Africa’ and the Facebook Creative Shop team.

If you’re into AI then you’re going to love this TED Talk by Joseph Redmon. He works on a project called the YOLO (You Only Look Once) system, an open-source method of object detection that can identify objects in images and video… Think spotting zebras in images to reading stop signs in videos… all in near realtime. In this TED talk, Joseph Redmon shows off an amazing demo, and an important step forward for applications like self-driving cars, robotics and even cancer detection.

The new Dunkirk movie is meant to be epic. And EPIC is this: the new WebVR Experience for the feature film. This co-play experience requires two people to play. You can ask a friend to join, or team up with a random player from around the world – your choice!

Players become Allied troops on the beach deep in enemy territory. Players have to work together to save the other, just as they would have in the war, showcasing the camaraderie and teamwork that ultimately fuels the storyline of the amazing film. This project was created by Warner Brothers who worked with Google Zoo and the Google Chrome VR team. Click here to play.

Right. This is it. The world’s first feature length VR film for Oculus. Picture this. You’re in the 80s and you’re a robot. Yes. A Robot called “Miyubi”.

The immersive VR film puts you as the lead, a robot who is now loved by a very typical American family after “dad” gets back from Japan. The story explores things like love and obsolence, it’s almost Toy Story like to some degree. Created by Felix & Paul in partnership with FunnyorDie. And did I mention that even Jeff Goldblum is in it? You’ll have to unlock an Easter Egg to see.View the promo trailer below...

There are city guides on Google, and then there is this. The KLM Care Tag. It’s a smart audio luggage tag that now automatically provides tourists with GPS activated voice assistance and guidance across Amsterdam.

It’s somewhat seamless no matter if you’re walking or cycling through the city, offering up the perfect location based tip automatically at the right time. Mapped across the entire city of Amsterdam, KLM plotted the voice of their famously caring and helpful crew at every key spot where people can use some extra assistance. Find out more here. Created by the crew at DDB & Tribal, in Amsterdam.

Royal Caribbean has launched a scuba/snorkelling mask with built-in Snapchat Spectacles so that holiday makers can get social under the water too. Called “SeaSeekers” the Goggles will be available for customers on select Royal Caribbean cruises around the world, as part of its #SeekDeeper campaign. Royal Caribbean says the goal is to receive a patent for the product and then equip ships with the goggles so guests can rent them!

It’s an interesting social-innovation play and a great way to connect Snapchat, Royal Caribbean and guests in a new way that wasn’t previously possible. Let’s see where it goes this summer!

Check it out here.

McDonald’s continues to be a fast-growing business and needs to recruit a lot of young people every year, and with their target young worker becoming harder and harder to engage, McDonald’s tuned Snapchat into their biggest recruitment channel, and made applying for a job a snap! With applicants activating a Snapchat lens from highly targeted recruitment ads, putting the McDonald’s crew hat and name badge on them virtually and asking them to simply send a 10 second “snaplication” telling McDonald’s why they wanted to apply for a job at Macca’s, to start the recruitment process, and getting a whole new audience to consider McDonald’s for a career.

The NRL’s Instabilia campaign was a real-time in-game activation creating one-of-a-kind State of Origin memorabilia items instantly as those special moments happen on the field, packaged as promotional ads on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and then immediately placed on eBay for auction for the games biggest fans.

Designed to turn traditional memorabilia (you know, the brand new jersey that came straight from a store to be signed by players…) into “Instabilia” which is born inside the real game, complete with all the dirt from the field, including the blood, sweat, and tears of the players who wore it!Click here to read more...

Don’t have a Google Home yet? Don’t worry, you can build one yourself with Google’s new AIY kit projects that have just launched, the first being a replica “Google Home” made with Raspberry Pi.
